They will also be installing two wheelchair ramps.
They will be partnering with Ramp It Up (a group of REALTORS and builders that assist in installing wheelchair ramps for the elderly and disabled), Publix, Harris Teeter and Wal-Mart

There will be four projects going on simultaneously in Nassau County:
1)  A yard cleanup on a home in Yulee, which includes: tree and bush trimming, thinning out a wooded driveway to widen the access to the home, and cleaning up around the outside of the home.
2)  A 42’ ft long wheelchair ramp will be installed in Yulee.
3)  A wheelchair ramp will be installed at a home, and there will be yard clean up including removing tree limbs, LOTS of leaf raking, pressure washing, and cleaning the outside windows on the home
4)  A home in Hilliard will receive house painting and a yard cleanup.
